00:09:11.000 And now, guys, let's get into all of the top headlines.

00:09:16.000 And I want to start with an incredible moment from earlier this week because it really exposes the absolute intellectual fraud of the Democrat Party.

00:09:28.000 Shifty Adam Schiff went on Bill Maher's show, parroted his rehearsed narrative talking points.

00:09:34.000 You know, Trump's war is illegal.

00:09:37.000 He didn't get congressional authorization.

00:09:38.000 You know, same story, rinse and repeat.

00:09:41.000 Happens all the time.

00:09:43.000 And Maher, you know, to give the guy credit here, sort of like sometimes giving credit to the arsonist for calling the fire department, but you know, every once in a while he does come around with this one.

00:09:54.000 He reads Schiff a quote about how the president has the constitutional authority to use military force without congressional approval in certain situations.

00:10:04.000 And Schiff jumps all over it.

00:10:08.000 He says it's outrageous.

00:10:10.000 And then, wait for it.

00:10:14.000 Marr drops the hammer.

00:10:16.000 Check this out.

00:10:18.000 The administration.

00:10:19.000 The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.

00:10:28.000 That's too vague for you?

00:10:29.000 Totally vague.

00:10:31.000 Okay, because that's from Obama.

00:10:33.000 About Libya.

00:10:34.000 Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go into Syria without an authorization.

00:10:40.000 I and many others pushed back on that argument.

00:10:42.000 Ultimately, he did not go forward with going after Assad, even though Assad was gassing his own people, because he thought he might lose the vote in Congress.

00:10:51.000 But I respect the fact that that was important to him.

00:10:56.000 And the fact that he did not have the support of Congress meant that we weren't going to go forward.

00:11:02.000 You know, the look on Schiff's face, I mean, pencil neck, you know, bull shif, full of shif.

00:11:08.000 You know, you've heard all the nicknames for this guy because they're all basically true.

00:11:12.000 But this is a guy who spent years, literally years, lying about Russia collusion, lying about phone calls, lying about me, my father, literally lying about everything.

00:11:24.000 lying during the impeachment hoax, and he just got caught, no pun intended, in real time.

00:11:32.000 This was one of the worst actors of my father's entire first term.

00:11:37.000 Just made it up, never met a camera he didn't love.

00:11:40.000 He would just lie with impunity.

00:11:42.000 And I remember, very clearly, obviously came from him, when I was even doing my Russia, Russia, Russia testimony in front of the House Intelligence Committee, which he led at the time.

00:11:53.000 And we weren't allowed cell phones.

00:11:55.000 They were locked up in private rooms and my lawyers weren't allowed cell phones.

00:11:59.000 He had to keep it all out because it's very classified stuff.

00:12:02.000 And yet when I got done that evening after like nine hours of straight depositions, got on, I guess it was Twitter at the time and started checking.

00:12:13.000 9 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 1 o'clock.

00:12:16.000 Basically, every time we had a bathroom break, there was a new update.

00:12:19.000 Now, none of the updates were actually accurate as to what was going on, but clearly he was taking that time to leak to the press.

00:12:27.000 This is the Democrat playbook in a nutshell, guys.

00:12:29.000 Everything Trump does is an outrage.

00:12:32.000 Everything Obama did was just fine, totally justified, totally legitimate.

00:12:36.000 The Democrats have no principles, just gutter-tier politics of being against all things Trump all the time.

00:12:46.000 It's the same thing every day for basically 10 years.

00:12:50.000 And when that doesn't work, they just weaponize the government against their political opponents, which you've all seen before, which you saw again during Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:13:02.000 You saw it during Impeachment One, Impeachment Two, you saw the January 6th persecutions, and it sort of never ends, right?

00:13:09.000 But it does bring us to our next story, which just keeps heating up because this goes so far beyond what we even thought we knew about the weaponization of the Obama-Biden FBI.

00:13:26.000 According to a new report from Just the News, my father and other top figures in the administration or in his campaign were targeted by not one, not two, but four consecutive FBI counterintelligence investigations over the last nine years.

00:13:47.000 Huh.

00:13:48.000 Four code name operations that secretly subjected hundreds of innocent Americans to some of the most invasive surveillance tactics our government has.

00:14:00.000 The most invasive stuff they've ever used.

00:14:02.000 Remember when my father, who does have a pretty good understanding of how the world works, said, yeah, Obama was spying money.

00:14:07.000 Like it was obvious.

00:14:08.000 And the media went nuts.

00:14:11.000 You know, it was Obama, it was then Biden.

00:14:13.000 It was, you know, remember when he said that?

00:14:15.000 And it was like, yeah, of course, because they just knew things that no one else could possibly know.

00:14:19.000 They were investigating, making up stuff, but trying to come up with enough closeness and proximity.

00:14:24.000 Like he was like, yeah, they're obviously spying on me.

00:14:27.000 Turns out he was right.

00:14:28.000 He was right.

00:14:29.000 All of the media that said this is a conspiracy theory, you know, another conspiracy theory that comes true.

00:14:35.000 Well, he was right, as always.

00:14:38.000 He's usually right at the time, but most people don't figure it out till much later.

00:14:42.000 Even Kash Patel, the FBI director himself today, was apparently being surveilled while he was going through the confirmation process, right?

00:14:52.000 So he's chosen to run the FBI.

00:14:55.000 They're still going after him personally.

00:14:59.000 And the files were completely hidden, even from most of the Bureau itself.

00:15:07.000 Watch this from John Solomon.

00:15:09.000 They created these cutouts from the system and they were kept in skiffs and they were hidden from public view.

00:15:15.000 Even a director, if he wasn't read in, a future director, would know they existed unless a whistleblower came to them and said, Hey, boss, you won't believe what we did before you were director.

00:15:25.000 We got your phone records, which is exactly what recently happened with Kash Patel, according to the reporting.

00:15:31.000 You have agents down at the rank and file.

00:15:35.000 I'm sorry, John.

00:15:36.000 Wait, you're saying the FBI agents whistle blew to Kash Patel that they were surveilling Kash Patel?

00:15:41.000 They did.

00:15:42.000 Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

00:15:44.000 So, Cash was under potentially illegal surveillance by the F by the FBI.

00:15:49.000 Well, I see what the justification was.

00:15:51.000 Yeah, we don't know yet.

00:15:52.000 We're still getting these records to classify, but it would seem pretty odd that a man got confirmed in 25 to be the FBI director.

00:15:59.000 Obviously, there was no criminal activity, or he wouldn't have had the FBI director.

00:16:02.000 They were pushing at him.

00:16:03.000 Same thing with Susie Wiles.

00:16:05.000 She's never been charged, but they got her phone records and were listening in her phone conversations, according to the data that's now made public.

00:16:11.000 There is an amazing walk you through the different dragnet operations.

00:16:20.000 Number one, Crossfire Hurricane.

00:16:22.000 We all know that one, right?

00:16:24.000 It's the Russia Kaluja hoax.

00:16:27.000 Completely fabricated, based on a fake dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton, leaked at the New York Times that then the FBI used to start up the investigation.

00:16:35.000 It was just, you know, circular garbage can that led to the Mueller probe and the biggest hoax in American history.

00:16:43.000 Number two, Round River.

00:16:46.000 This one started in the Pittsburgh field office of the FBI.

00:16:50.000 They went after Rudy Giuliani looking into Hunter Biden's corruption in Ukraine.

00:16:54.000 But it didn't stop there.

00:16:56.000 It expanded to target numerous public figures who dared speak out about the Biden family corruption.

00:17:04.000 Number three, plasmic echo.

00:17:08.000 This one was tied to the Mar-a-Lago raid, the classified documents case.

00:17:12.000 And here's the kicker.

00:17:14.000 Internal FBI messages have already surfaced showing agents questioning whether they even had probable cause, even probable cause for the warrant.

00:17:24.000 Think about that.

00:17:25.000 The agents themselves weren't sure that they had the goods to even get the warrant.

00:17:33.000 And they raided a former president's home anyway.

00:17:37.000 And it wasn't just a regular raid where they show up for documents.

00:17:40.000 They showed up with the FBI's HRT squad, okay?

00:17:44.000 The hostage rescue team.

00:17:46.000 Okay, that's like the SEAL Team Six of federal law enforcement.

00:17:52.000 Why would you need that?

00:17:53.000 They acknowledged they were cooperating with lawyers.

00:17:55.000 You saw FBI agents themselves didn't even know they had the right to do this.

00:17:58.000 And then when they do show up, it's not like, hey, show me some papers.

00:18:02.000 They show up with the hostage rescue team, fully armed, ready to go.

00:18:09.000 Why would you do that, folks?

00:18:10.000 Unless, of course, you know, you're just simply trying to intimidate someone into folding, whether that's someone lying about what the president actually did or just scaring the family.

00:18:21.000 You know, perhaps myself.

00:18:22.000 I don't think I'm too easily intimidated even by those clowns functioning this way.

00:18:26.000 And that's all coming from Ray.

00:18:28.000 I know a lot of the guys that are the door kickers and they're great guys.

00:18:31.000 They're just doing what they're told.

00:18:33.000 But it's coming from the top.

00:18:35.000 Huh?

00:18:36.000 Why do that?

00:18:37.000 You think they do that to anyone else?

00:18:39.000 And then there's number four, Arctic Frost.

00:18:42.000 This one looked GOP lawmakers and top team figures up, trying to relate them to January 6th, and including spying on their phone records.

00:18:57.000 Now, we're learning, even more happening, that this was more of a never-ending information dragnet that basically just changed names.

00:19:07.000 While the targets all had one thing in common: they supported Donald Trump.

00:19:12.000 Four operations spanning from the summer of 2016 all the way to January 25.

00:19:19.000 Okay, and that is essentially the entire duration of my father's political career to that point, being treated by his own government's intelligence apparatus as a national security threat.

00:19:33.000 I'll tell you what, it seems like these weaponized systems and government, the FBI, probably the CIA, all of these things, they seem like a far greater national security threat.

00:19:44.000 Remember, you're a threat to democracy.

00:19:45.000 I don't know.

00:19:47.000 I don't know.

00:19:47.000 I think the surveillance of like half the Republican Party probably seems like a far greater threat to democracy.

00:19:55.000 And yet you don't hear any of the hens over on the mainstream media talking about that, even if it's the reality.

00:20:02.000 Okay.

00:20:03.000 The President of the United States was being surveilled like a foreign spy.

00:20:09.000 Remember that.

00:20:11.000 Hundreds of Americans caught up in this dragnet.

00:20:15.000 People whose only crime was supporting or working with Donald Trump.

00:20:20.000 This is what weaponized government looks like, guys.

00:20:23.000 This is what they were doing while they told you it was all a conspiracy theory.

00:20:30.000 While they told you they're fighting to preserve democracy, huh?

00:20:33.000 Anything but.

00:20:35.000 Okay, classic projection.

00:20:36.000 They're doing the opposite of whatever they tell you they're doing in this case.

00:20:39.000 And now, Cache Patel is pulling back the curtain on every single one of them.

00:20:45.000 I'm sure they were able to hide a lot that he hasn't been able to find.

00:20:48.000 I'm sure they burned plenty of bags of information linking them to other people, but I imagine there's enough out there that we can do something with.

00:20:54.000 And I have a feeling we're just at the tip of the iceberg here.

00:20:59.000 What other figures were targeted?

00:21:01.000 We know Susie Wiles was.

00:21:02.000 She's now the chief of staff of the White House.

00:21:06.000 She was the campaign manager of our father's campaign.

00:21:10.000 What about other members of the cabinet?

00:21:12.000 What about other members of the transition?

00:21:15.000 And remember, they declared these cases prohibited access files, meaning they're not put into normal case file system called Sentinel, where the FBI keeps all of its cases, right?

00:21:27.000 This is off the books, guys.

00:21:29.000 This is just a little side project.

00:21:30.000 And if we can get people entrapped and ensnared, we'll do that.

00:21:35.000 Clearly, there was nothing there.

00:21:36.000 Shouldn't surprise anyone yet.

00:21:38.000 Didn't stop them from trying, guys.

00:21:40.000 This was a totally separate system from what they normally use.

00:21:45.000 You couldn't even search for it if you wanted to.

00:21:47.000 It wasn't in the books.

00:21:50.000 And it's one of the dozens of different record systems the FBI had.

00:21:55.000 Now, speaking of weaponized government failing its people, let's talk about what the Democrat Party is doing to undermine the safety of our citizens here, home, and abroad.

00:22:09.000 The Democrat DHS shutdown is now on day 25.

00:22:14.000 We are approaching a full month of Senate Democrats holding Homeland Security hostage.

00:22:22.000 TSA agents are now getting their second zero-dollar paycheck.

00:22:27.000 And the result?

00:22:29.000 Americans are waiting three and a half to four hours in security lines at major airports.

00:22:34.000 Some airports are telling travelers to show up four hours early just to get through.

00:22:40.000 All because Democrats refused to fund DHS because they want to halt deportations and seemingly make sure that criminals in this country get to stay and ultimately vote for Democrats in elections.

00:22:54.000 Watch what we have here.

00:22:58.000 TSA wait times here at Hobby Airport still sitting at about three hours this morning.

00:23:03.000 You guys, just take a look at the line.

00:23:05.000 It has looked like this basically all morning, and it is stretching from here where we are past the ticketing area, downstairs to the baggage claim, and literally out the door of the airport.

00:23:16.000 And it seems like this line just seems to be getting longer as the morning goes on.

00:23:20.000 So all of this comes after the partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security as it continues.

00:23:27.000 High demand and fewer open checkpoints because of TSA staffing shortages are what's causing these massive wait times.

00:23:34.000 We did speak to one woman who was traveling with a group of kids to DC.

00:23:38.000 She says that she checked in with Southwest around 3:30 this morning, but now she's worried that they won't even make their flight.

00:23:45.000 How many of you guys are traveling together?

00:23:47.000 We have about 94 kids and 14 adults.

00:23:50.000 And can you tell us what time you got here and how long you've been waiting in line?

00:23:53.000 I arrived around 3.20 and we've been in line since then.

00:23:58.000 We're supposed to catch a flight at 7.45, we hope.

00:24:01.000 And what words do you have to describe this line and what you guys are waiting in?

00:24:05.000 Crazy.

00:24:06.000 It's really crazy.

00:24:10.000 Again, Houston Airport officials are urging anybody traveling through Hobby Airport this morning to get here at least four hours early.

00:24:17.000 Reporting from Hobby Airport, Jay Flurry, Fox, 26 News.

00:24:23.000 Trump Alaska Skin says, demental health.

00:24:26.000 And I think that's right.

00:24:27.000 Democrat mental health.

00:24:29.000 They don't have a lot of it.

00:24:30.000 It's in very short supply.

00:24:32.000 They're mentally ill, not a lot of mental health there.

00:24:35.000 Now, ironically, the DHS shutdown does not actually affect ICE because it's already been funded in other legislation.

00:24:46.000 So this is purely about political theater for Democrats to make our country less safe and our airports more chaotic.

00:24:54.000 They want Americans to suffer.

00:24:56.000 They know the funding for ICE is already there.

00:24:59.000 They know that.

00:25:00.000 So they're going to withhold the other funding to make sure they can try to blame Republicans, even though it's all them, while the media obviously does their bidding for them.

00:25:10.000 Here's Senator John Fetterman excoriating his own party.

00:25:15.000 A welcome thing to see.

00:25:18.000 I'll have to acknowledge that this shutdown had no impact, zero impact on ICE.

00:25:23.000 All of the funding was already in place there from the big beautiful bill that I did not vote for.

00:25:28.000 I did not vote for that.

00:25:30.000 So why should I punish all of those people that work under the DHS that keep our nation more secure?

00:25:36.000 Why they shouldn't be paid?

00:25:37.000 You know, I'm at the airport every week of the year and I asked all of them in Pittsburgh, hey, do you guys like getting paid for your job?

00:25:45.000 And I've never met one that says, nah, you know, the paycheck's not really a big deal.

00:25:49.000 Everyone, and I believe we should be paid for the work that you've done.

00:25:53.000 Why punish all those TSA agents and all the other people under the DHS umbrella just because the base demands that we just shut it down, knowing, absolutely knowing that would have no impact on credit to Fetterman,

00:26:09.000 although as we'll cover later in the show, it's also time that he supports the Save America Act and really call out his own party on that one, especially for legislation that's like 84% popular with the entire populace of America, meaning you actually need an ID to vote.

00:26:24.000 You actually need to show proof of citizenship to register to vote.

00:26:27.000 Not exactly rocket science, not exactly controversial anywhere else in the world.

00:26:33.000 But as for DHS, the House already passed a clean DHS funding bill.

00:26:39.000 Even four Democrats broke the ranks and voted for it.

00:26:43.000 And Senate Democrats, they blocked it.

00:26:47.000 And up in New York City, Zohran Mandani hosted his first Iftar at City Hall, which is the evening meal served at sunset to break the daily fast during the Islamic holiday, holy month of Ramadan.

00:27:00.000 But Mandani turned it into a hosting of radical activists for a viral moment on social media.

00:27:12.000 We're asking yourself how you can reconnect to growing up with being taught.

00:27:41.000 Isn't that good?

00:27:43.000 You're not good at that.

00:27:47.000 You're not good at that.

00:27:48.000 Thank you.

00:27:51.000 people who are in the world are the same now.

00:27:55.000 I imagine if a Christian mayor invited Christian influencers into City Hall to pray on camera and push it out on social media, the left would lose their minds.

00:28:04.000 The ACLU would file a lawsuit before dessert.

00:28:07.000 So the mayor of the largest city in America is turning City Hall into a content studio for Islamic influencers while people are literally throwing bombs at his front door in the name of ISIS.

00:28:20.000 Remember that one from a couple days ago?

00:28:23.000 And the fake news doesn't want to touch any of it.

00:28:27.000 You know, imagine seeing that.

00:28:28.000 You know, radical Islamists at City Hall.

00:28:31.000 Imagine seeing that on like, I don't know, 9-12, you know, the day after 9-11.

00:28:37.000 It's wild.

00:28:38.000 Now, the left lectures us all the time about Christianity, even when a teacher wants to pray in class.

00:28:45.000 But Islam in City Hall, well, that's beautiful.

00:28:48.000 That's diversity.

00:28:48.000 That's beyond reproach.

00:28:50.000 You can't talk about that.

00:28:50.000 You know, there's obviously no separation of church and state when it comes to that.

00:28:55.000 That's progress, guys.

00:28:57.000 Now, I do want to pivot to something that connects directly to what we've been covering on this show for months.

00:29:03.000 The massive fraud epidemic in Democrat-run states across the country.

00:29:09.000 It took the mainstream media a long time to get there.

00:29:12.000 And candidly, I'm shocked that they would ever actually expose the fraud, but credit where credit is due.

00:29:19.000 CBS News analyzed records for every hospice operation in Los Angeles County and found that over 700 of the roughly 1800 hospices in LA County triggered multiple red flags for possible fraud.

00:29:37.000 700 of 1800.

00:29:39.000 I mean, that's like almost half.

00:29:41.000 Okay.

00:29:42.000 Watch the CBS fraud report here.

00:29:46.000 So we went door to door and what we found was empty office spaces, piled up mail, and not a single healthcare worker in sight.

00:29:55.000 There's even a stretch in LA with 500 registered hospice companies within just three miles of each other.

00:30:02.000 In fact, there's even a single building with 89 registered hospice companies.

00:30:09.000 We wanted to get some answers.

00:30:11.000 Okay, so my name is Adam Yamaguchi and I'm with CBS News and we're doing a story about hospice and we're just trying to understand how and why there are so many hospice agencies in like a small cluster in LA County.

00:30:25.000 Would love to speak with you.

00:30:27.000 I'm sorry.

00:30:29.000 You have no comment?

00:30:31.000 Okay.

00:30:32.000 All right.

00:30:34.000 Medicare hospice fraud can happen in a few different ways.

00:30:38.000 Shell companies can buy stolen Medicare numbers on the dark web and then bill the government for services that they don't ever actually provide.

00:30:46.000 Sometimes recruiters will go out into the community and look for seniors and say, hey, we can offer you a bunch of free groceries, housekeeping, free to pens.

00:30:58.000 Just give me your Medicare number and I'll see what you're eligible for.

00:31:01.000 And then boom, they're off and running.

00:31:03.000 They can charge tens of thousands of dollars and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars on that one Medicare number.

00:31:12.000 Guys, here's how the scam works.

00:31:14.000 Criminals steal Medicare identification numbers.

00:31:19.000 They enroll people in hospice care without their knowledge.

00:31:22.000 Just congratulations, Don, you're on hospice.

00:31:25.000 I didn't even know I was sick.

00:31:26.000 And then they bill Medicare for services that are never provided.

00:31:31.000 One woman, a 69-year-old doctor who was perfectly healthy, found out her Medicare number had been stolen and she was listed as a dying hospice patient.

00:31:42.000 And the scale, the scale of this is absolutely insane.

00:31:48.000 There is a three-mile stretch in LA with 500 registered hospice companies.

00:31:55.000 Not 500 hospice patients, 500 registered hospice companies.

00:32:01.000 There is a single building, single building, one building with 89 registered hospice inside.

00:32:09.000 That must be one hell of a large building, guys.

00:32:11.000 I mean, wow.

00:32:13.000 When investigators went door to door, empty offices, piled up mail, not a single healthcare worker in sight.

00:32:22.000 Auditors estimated LA County hospices overbuild Medicaid or Medicare by $105 million in a single year.

00:32:31.000 The average hospice in LA bills Medicare $29,000 per patient, more than double the national average of $13,000.

00:32:41.000 I guess that's why they chose LA, that and the fact that the government's probably on it and they wouldn't get caught.

00:32:46.000 Here's Center for Medicaid Services Chief, Dr. Oz, explaining how foreign scammers are fleecing the American taxpayer.

00:32:55.000 ...to go there on their final days is what you're saying, and some of them are in real hospices.

00:32:59.000 Of course not.

00:33:00.000 You know who's coming to ask us for help?

00:33:02.000 The legitimate hospice owners in California are saying, please, we're drowning.

00:33:06.000 There's so much fraud we can't survive.

00:33:07.000 But it doesn't just end there.

00:33:09.000 There's also fraud Medicare.

00:33:10.000 We announced a nationwide moratorium in this country for six months.

00:33:14.000 You may not start a new durable medical equipment business.

00:33:17.000 They're the ones who sell wheelchairs and canes.

00:33:19.000 And we have enough to serve the American people, but the fraud is so bad.

00:33:23.000 I'll get in stats.

00:33:24.000 There are two times as many durable medical equipment suppliers in South Florida than McDonald's.

00:33:24.000 You'll love this.

00:33:30.000 And that's despite the Bobby Kennedy's not shutting McDonald's down there.

00:33:34.000 And the reason is, just to clarify, I know you're living in the middle of it.

00:33:37.000 I would open up one of these wheelchair stores because I could defraud my way to getting paid.

00:33:43.000 So I'm providing equipment to people that don't really need it in order to get federal money.

00:33:48.000 Is that what you're saying?

00:33:49.000 You're not even providing equipment.

00:33:50.000 You're stealing their beneficiary number.

00:33:52.000 You're pretending head fake to ship stuff.

00:33:55.000 You never ship any goods.

00:33:56.000 You have no payroll.

00:33:57.000 No one works for you.

00:33:58.000 You never sell any products to anybody.

00:34:00.000 You literally create a fake business.

00:34:02.000 Many of these businesses are owned by Cuban nationals, by the way.

00:34:05.000 They bill falsely for $5 million for a month of fake stuff.

00:34:09.000 They flee back to Cuba.

00:34:10.000 We try to go after the money.

00:34:11.000 It's already gone.

00:34:12.000 It's been shipped overseas.

00:34:14.000 And everyone's looking around to see who's the last guy standing.

00:34:18.000 The fundamental reality is this fraud is weaponized.

00:34:20.000 It's weaponized often by foreign nationals.

00:34:22.000 We can't allow it to continue.

00:34:24.000 Dr. Oz, always great to see you.

00:34:25.000 I look forward to.

00:34:27.000 And this is on top of what Nick Shirley exposed in Minnesota, the daycare fraud, the billions stolen from programs that were supposed to feed children.

00:34:35.000 Remember, Nick lit the fire in Minnesota, and now it's spreading to California, where $24 billion went to homelessness, and the homeless population actually went up, where a state audit couldn't even figure out where the money went.

00:34:53.000 A state audit couldn't figure out where it went.

00:34:55.000 $24 billion?

00:34:56.000 In just I don't know what's.

00:34:58.000 24 billion between friends?

00:35:00.000 And, by the way, Tim Waltz was dragged in front of the House Oversight Committee last week to testify about the Feeding OUR Future fraud in Minnesota.

00:35:10.000 $9 billion stolen and Waltz was caught with him hiding behind a court order that never actually existed.

00:35:19.000 He was just, you know, able to hide behind.

00:35:20.000 It didn't actually exist, but he just basically I can't talk about it in a court order, not true?

00:35:25.000 The Oversights Committee's report said it plainly.

00:35:28.000 Waltz and Attorney General Ellison lied about their knowledge of the fraud and silenced whistleblowers.

00:35:36.000 Seems like a really bad pattern.

00:35:38.000 This is the pattern, though.

00:35:39.000 This is what they do.

00:35:41.000 In Minnesota, California, Democrat-run states, billions of taxpayer dollars vanishing into thin air.

00:35:48.000 And the people who were supposed to be watching the store were either asleep or they were in on it.

00:35:54.000 Maybe both.

00:35:56.000 Now, speaking of Democrats being exposed, I want to talk about James Tellarico because the Democrat Party is trying to sell this guy as their great hope to flip a Senate seat in Texas.

00:36:09.000 And what's coming out about him is absolutely disqualifying.

00:36:14.000 I mean, remember, this is the guy who beat Jasmine Crockett, okay, in the Democrat primary.

00:36:21.000 And then she said it was rigged and everything like that.

00:36:22.000 But like, hard to believe, as I see these clips, as we put this stuff together, it's literally hard to believe that this guy makes Jasmine Crockett, you know, crazy squad member, seem almost reasonable.

00:36:34.000 That's how insane it is.

00:36:36.000 So there's a clip that's resurfaced.

00:36:38.000 Tellerico is on a podcast, and the host asks him a simple question.

00:36:43.000 Name something you love beyond family and friends.

00:36:47.000 You know, normal question, right?

00:36:49.000 You'd maybe say, you know, your dog, your country, fishing, you know, hunting for me, you know, whatever it is.

00:36:55.000 Tellerico's answer, trans children.

00:37:00.000 You can't make it up.

00:37:02.000 This is the guy that wants to be a senator in Texas.

00:37:04.000 I mean, Texas, even Texas Dems, like, come on then.

00:37:07.000 Like, you can do better.

00:37:08.000 Check this out.

00:37:10.000 That you love that's not family or friends.

00:37:15.000 I love, I'm just saying this because it's on my mind.

00:37:18.000 The trans children who showed up yesterday at the state Capitol to advocate for their humanity.

00:37:25.000 They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch.

00:37:29.000 And guys, this isn't a one-time thing.

00:37:31.000 This is a guy who said on the Texas House floor that God is non-binary.

00:37:36.000 A guy that's made transgender advocacy for children a staple of his entire political career.

00:37:42.000 A guy who's twisting scripture to push gender ideology on kids.

00:37:47.000 Of course, you know, it's sick.

00:37:50.000 And this far-left freak has another top policy priority.

00:37:54.000 Abortion for the trans community.

00:37:57.000 Take a look.

00:37:59.000 Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.

00:38:05.000 Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day at the state capitol.

00:38:10.000 And you better believe I'll be giving sermons on that too.

00:38:14.000 So when I use the word woman, it should not be understood as an exhaustive term, but rather as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy.

00:38:26.000 Similar to how we specify anti-black racism.

00:38:30.000 Just so we're clear, guys.

00:38:33.000 You know, this isn't going to be like a senator in California.

00:38:36.000 This could be a senator in Texas.

00:38:40.000 Texas.

00:38:42.000 And by the way, since some of this went viral, Tellerico quietly deleted his entire endorsements page from his website because he doesn't want voters to see who's been backing him.

00:38:53.000 Hmm.

00:38:54.000 I wonder why that is.

00:38:58.000 This is who Democrats are running in Texas, guys.

00:39:01.000 This is who they see as their star.

00:39:04.000 This is like the Timu version of Beto O'Rourke, a guy who thinks the most lovable thing in the world outside of his own family, and perhaps more so than his own family, is other people's children going through gender transitions.

00:39:17.000 Texas is not buying what this guy is selling.

00:39:21.000 And if they are, we have much bigger problems.

00:39:24.000 If they are, you know, it's like meteor 2028 because we probably deserve it.

00:39:29.000 Now, I don't want to only talk about what the other side is getting wrong.

00:39:34.000 Let's talk about what this administration is getting right.

00:39:38.000 The Treasury Department released the mid-season numbers for the 2026 tax filing season.

00:39:44.000 Over 63 million returns processed.

00:39:48.000 Average refund over $3,700.

00:39:51.000 Okay, $3,700.

00:39:54.000 Nearly 45% of all returns claimed at least one of the new tax benefits from the One Big Beautiful bill.

00:40:03.000 More than 15 million returns used no tax on overtime.

00:40:07.000 3.5 million used no tax on tips.

00:40:12.000 That's huge for hardworking Americans.

00:40:16.000 3.5 million Trump accounts have been opened.

00:40:20.000 $91 billion in retroactive tax relief going directly to working families, waitresses keeping their tips, construction workers keeping their overtime.

00:40:31.000 Check this out.

00:40:33.000 Americans are going to start benefiting from the fruits of President Trump and Republicans' labor through the passage of the One Big Beautiful bill and these historic tax cuts.

00:40:42.000 We are midway through tax season.

00:40:44.000 So just to provide an update from the Treasury Department that just went out moments ago, nearly 63.5 million tax returns have been processed thus far, 45% of the anticipated total number of tax returns by April 15th.

00:40:58.000 So don't forget to file your taxes, people.

00:41:01.000 And the average refund this year is more than $3,700.

00:41:06.000 And we know that more than 27.5 million individuals who have filed their tax returns thus far have claimed at least one of President Trump's new tax cuts.

00:41:16.000 Over 3.5 million returns have claimed no tax on tips.

00:41:20.000 Over 15.5 million returns have claimed no tax on overtime.

00:41:25.000 Over 9.2 million returns have claimed the enhanced deduction for seniors.

00:41:29.000 And over 690,000 returns have claimed no tax on car loan interest.

00:41:36.000 And another amazing statistic, nearly 3.5 million Trump accounts have been opened for children in our country thus far.

00:41:44.000 So we look forward to, I know the Treasury Department continues to look forward to seeing these checks go out the door and into the pockets of hardworking Americans.

00:41:53.000 And the president will be meeting with them himself tomorrow on the road in both Ohio and Kentucky.

00:41:59.000 And speaking of promises kept, nine consecutive months of zero releases at the border.

00:42:05.000 Every single person apprehended was processed according to the law.

00:42:09.000 That has never happened in modern border history.

00:42:13.000 Southwest border apprehensions in the first quarter of the fiscal year of 2026 were the lowest ever recorded.

00:42:20.000 95%, lower than the first quarter average under Biden.

00:42:25.000 They told us it couldn't be done.

00:42:27.000 They said the wall was a vanity project.

00:42:30.000 They called enforcement cruel.

00:42:32.000 95% reduction.

00:42:34.000 Zero releases.

00:42:35.000 The border is more secure than it's been in a generation.

00:42:40.000 And that brings me up to the final and most important topic of tonight's show.

00:42:45.000 And this one, I need every single one of you to hear because it matters more than ever.

00:42:52.000 The Save America Act, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, requires proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast your ballot in a federal election.

00:43:06.000 My father said it clearly.

00:43:08.000 He is not signing anything else until this bill passes.

00:43:12.000 Nothing moves until we secure our elections.

00:43:16.000 Check this out.

00:43:17.000 Senator Thun listening to you when you say you want to pass the Save America Act, he says there aren't the votes to do it right now.

00:43:25.000 What's your well, he's got to be a leader.

00:43:27.000 You know, if he's a leader, he's got to get him.

00:43:29.000 It's the most popular bill I've ever seen put before Congress.

00:43:33.000 And it's voter ID and it's voter.

00:43:36.000 You have to be able to be a citizen to vote.

00:43:38.000 You've got to equal citizenship.

00:43:41.000 And we're also adding in no men playing in women's sports, no transgender mutilization of our children, and no mail-in ballots, fake mail-in ballots.

00:43:53.000 We have none of that, except in the case of the military, etc.

00:44:02.000 It is the Save America Act.

00:44:05.000 It's the most popular bill I think I've ever put before.

00:44:12.000 So will Senate leadership actually step up and do what's right?

00:44:16.000 Dune claims the votes aren't there.

00:44:19.000 But why?

00:44:20.000 Is it just because a few rhinos don't want to have a vote at all?

00:44:24.000 They don't want it on the record out there.

00:44:27.000 It's 84% popular across the American public.

00:44:31.000 I understand why Democrats aren't going to give it to them, right?

00:44:34.000 They understand that if they can have more illegals voting, they're going to vote for Democrats because they're entirely dependent on your taxpayer dollars.

00:44:40.000 Every single Republican senator needs to be on the record fighting for this.

00:44:46.000 And if not, maybe they should be replaced in their jobs.

00:44:49.000 Not scheduling symbolic votes and shrugging their shoulders when they fail.

00:44:55.000 Make the Democrats stand there and filibuster election integrity.

00:44:59.000 Make them explain to the American people why showing an ID to vote is unreasonable when you need an ID to buy a beer or cigarettes, to get on a plane, to start a bank account, to pick up a prescription.

00:45:13.000 If Democrats want to block this, make them do it in front of the cameras.

00:45:18.000 Make them do it on the record.

00:45:21.000 Make them stand there for hours, for hours, and tell America why they oppose verifying citizenship before someone votes in our elections.

00:45:32.000 How could that be real?

00:45:36.000 And here's what I need from every one of you watching right now.

00:45:41.000 Call your senators.

00:45:43.000 Pick up the phone tonight, tomorrow morning.

00:45:47.000 If you have a Republican senator, tell them you expect them to follow through and fight for this.

00:45:54.000 If you have a Democrat senator, ask them why they think non-citizens should be able to register to vote.

00:46:02.000 Think about that.

00:46:03.000 No other country in the world would allow that to happen.

00:46:07.000 And in America, according to the Democrats, it's Jim Crow 2.0.

00:46:10.000 Well, I guess, you know, again, buying a beer or cigarettes is also Jim Crow 2.0 because that requires it.

00:46:15.000 Setting up a bank must be Jim Crow 2.0, getting on a plane, Jim Crow 2.0.

00:46:19.000 Do the standbytes ever get old?

00:46:21.000 Does this insanity ever stop?

00:46:24.000 This is the fight of the cycle.

00:46:26.000 My father is right to draw the line in the sand.

00:46:30.000 And every Republican in Washington should be standing right there with him.

00:46:35.000 No more symbolic gestures.

00:46:37.000 It doesn't work, guys.

00:46:38.000 That's what we do best, but it's never been effective.

00:46:38.000 It never has.

00:46:41.000 Fight for this like the future of the Republic depends on it because it does.

00:46:48.000 Look, what we covered tonight tells you everything about where we are right now.

00:46:54.000 The curtain is being pulled back on everything they tried to hide.

00:46:59.000 Four FBI counterintelligence operations that treated the duly elected president of the United States like a foreign spy for nine years.

00:47:10.000 A massive fraud scheme in California that's been stealing from Medicare right under Gavin Newsom's nose.

00:47:17.000 Tim Waltz caught lying under oath about a $9 billion fraud that stole money from children.

00:47:25.000 A Democrat Senate candidate in Texas getting exposed for the most radical views imaginable.

00:47:33.000 That's the contrast.

00:47:34.000 Results versus corruption.

00:47:37.000 Strength versus fraud.

00:47:39.000 Transparency versus cover-ups.

00:47:42.000 And common sense versus complete and abject lunacy.

00:47:47.000 And it has never been clearer.
